The requester's client was a student at a named university from September 1988 to April 1989 where he was enroled in a "master class" in a specified subject. He filed a complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Commission (the institution) alleging discrimination by the university under the Ontario Human Rights Code (the Code).
Following an investigation, the institution decided not to request that the Minister appoint a Board of Inquiry to hear the complaint. The requester asked for a reconsideration of this decision by the institution. The file was reviewed by a reconsideration officer and the original decision was affirmed. The requester then filed a court application for judicial review of the institution's decision. During the course of preparing for the judicial review hearing, the institution discovered a deficiency in its original investigation, and, with the consent of the requester, the judicial review application was withdrawn and the investigation reopened. After completing this phase of the investigation, the institution affirmed its decision not to request that the Minister appoint a Board of Inquiry to hear the complaint, and the requester again asked that the matter be reconsidered by the institution. This reconsideration process is currently underway and has not yet been completed.
The requester sought access to the following information:
Investigator's (Anita Fox) file regarding investigation into a human rights complaint made by [requester's client] against [a named university] ...
The scope of the request was clarified by the requester to exclude documents which were submitted to the institution by the requester and documents which had been provided to the requester by the institution during the course of processing his complaint. The request also excludes two records which are the subject of Appeal #P-920097.
The records which are at issue in this appeal are described as follows:
a) documents submitted to the institution by the university and documents sent by the institution to the university;
b) officers' investigation notes and reports;
c) inter-staff memoranda;
d) administrative forms.
